Community Android application
Get Fit St. Pete Mobile Application
A mobile application created to help St. Petersburg residents discover & schedule free fitness opportunities.
- Java
- Android Studio
- SQLite
- Material 3
- JUnit
Purpose
A simple path from discovery to participation
The focused mobile experience makes free fitness opportunities easier to discover without forcing residents to navigate a large recreation catalog. Clear descriptions, meeting instructions, registration notices, and scheduling tools help residents know what to expect before traveling to a class.

Interface gallery
From class discovery to participation
The Material 3 interface presents class information consistently across schedule browsing, search, saved classes, and detailed resident actions.
Upcoming classes
Dates, times, parks, registration badges, and official updates are visible at a glance.
Day filters
Residents can narrow the recurring schedule and see the result count update immediately.
Class search
Search makes it easy to find a specific activity, description, or park.
My Schedule
Bookmarks create a private saved-class list using only on-device storage.

Capacity requirements are explained before the user continues to the official City site.
Complete class details
Location, directions, audience guidance, calendar, save, and share actions support confident participation.
Privacy & security
Personalized without collecting personal data
Privacy was treated as a core requirement. Earlier local-account features were intentionally removed so residents can use the app without submitting personal or health information.
- No account or custom online user database
- No collection of names, birthdays, email addresses, passwords, health information, or location history
- Only an anonymous class identifier and save time are stored for bookmarks
- Saved classes remain in the app's private SQLite database
- Parameterized and validated database operations
- Cleartext traffic disabled and external links validated as HTTPS
- No location, contacts, storage, notification, camera, or microphone permissions
Verification
Built and tested for organizational review
- Application build passed
- Four automated unit tests passed with zero failures
- Android lint reported no application-code warnings
- Clean Android 16 emulator launch passed
